Delete Custom Emission Group

Permanently delete a custom emission group and all emission factors within it. This action cannot be undone.

Deleting a custom emission group is permanent and will also delete all custom emission factors within the group. If any factors are in use by purchases, wastes, or energy records, this may affect historical data.

Request

Path Parameters

UUID of the Custom Emission Group to delete

Response

Returns HTTP 204 No Content on successful deletion.

Example

curl -X DELETE "https://api.dcycle.io/api/v1/custom_emission_groups/group-uuid" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${DCYCLE_API_KEY}" \
  -H "x-organization-id: ${DCYCLE_ORG_ID}" \
  -H "x-user-id: ${DCYCLE_USER_ID}"

import requests
import os

headers = {
    "Authorization": f"Bearer {os.getenv('DCYCLE_API_KEY')}",
    "x-organization-id": os.getenv("DCYCLE_ORG_ID"),
    "x-user-id": os.getenv("DCYCLE_USER_ID")
}

group_id = "group-uuid"

response = requests.delete(
    f"https://api.dcycle.io/api/v1/custom_emission_groups/{group_id}",
    headers=headers
)

if response.status_code == 204:
    print("✅ Custom emission group deleted successfully")

const axios = require('axios');

const headers = {
  'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.DCYCLE_API_KEY}`,
  'x-organization-id': process.env.DCYCLE_ORG_ID,
  'x-user-id': process.env.DCYCLE_USER_ID
};

const groupId = 'group-uuid';

axios.delete(
  `https://api.dcycle.io/api/v1/custom_emission_groups/${groupId}`,
  { headers }
)
.then(response => {
  if (response.status === 204) {
    console.log('✅ Custom emission group deleted successfully');
  }
})
.catch(error => console.error(error));

Use Cases

Safe Delete with Confirmation

Check group contents before deleting:

# Get group details
group = requests.get(
    f"https://api.dcycle.io/api/v1/custom_emission_groups/{group_id}",
    headers=headers
).json()

# Get factors in the group
factors = requests.get(
    f"https://api.dcycle.io/api/v1/custom_emission_factors/list/{group_id}",
    headers=headers,
    params={"page": 1, "size": 100}
).json()

print(f"About to delete group: {group['name']}")
print(f"This will also delete {factors['total']} emission factors")

# Confirm and delete
confirmed = True  # Replace with actual user confirmation
if confirmed:
    requests.delete(
        f"https://api.dcycle.io/api/v1/custom_emission_groups/{group_id}",
        headers=headers
    )
    print("✅ Group deleted")

Delete Empty Groups

Clean up groups with no factors:

groups = requests.get(
    "https://api.dcycle.io/api/v1/custom_emission_groups",
    headers=headers,
    params={"page": 1, "size": 100}
).json()

for group in groups['items']:
    # Check if group has factors
    factors = requests.get(
        f"https://api.dcycle.io/api/v1/custom_emission_factors/list/{group['id']}",
        headers=headers,
        params={"page": 1, "size": 1}
    ).json()

    if factors['total'] == 0:
        requests.delete(
            f"https://api.dcycle.io/api/v1/custom_emission_groups/{group['id']}",
            headers=headers
        )
        print(f"Deleted empty group: {group['name']}")

Common Errors

404 Not Found

Cause: Custom emission group not found

{
  "detail": "Custom emission group not found",
  "code": "NOT_FOUND"
}

Solution: The group may have already been deleted.

Best Practices

1. Audit Before Deletion

Always check what will be deleted:

group = requests.get(
    f"https://api.dcycle.io/api/v1/custom_emission_groups/{group_id}",
    headers=headers
).json()

factors = requests.get(
    f"https://api.dcycle.io/api/v1/custom_emission_factors/list/{group_id}",
    headers=headers,
    params={"page": 1, "size": 100}
).json()

print(f"Group: {group['name']}")
print(f"Category: {group['category']}")
print(f"Factors: {factors['total']}")

for factor in factors['items']:
    print(f"  - {factor['ef_name']}")

2. Consider Factor Deletion First

Delete individual factors instead of the entire group if some factors are still needed:

# Delete specific factors instead of the whole group
factors_to_delete = ["factor-id-1", "factor-id-2"]

for factor_id in factors_to_delete:
    requests.delete(
        f"https://api.dcycle.io/api/v1/custom_emission_factors/{factor_id}",
        headers=headers
    )
